Some owners note a slightly off-centered 12 marker, and one felt the crystal was not the best, though still looked great. One owner expressed dissatisfaction with the bracelet quality. Overall, owners rate the Shiro Kara Daibāzu: Hulk SUB highly for its dial, insert, and rehaut finishing, with some noting good water resistance.

Yema Pearldiver

Owners widely praise the Yema Pearldiver's vintage aesthetic, good dimensions with a sub-40mm case and short lug-to-lug, and a clean dial. Some owners report quality control issues including non-running movements, though others have had positive experiences with customer service and received accurate replacements. The bracelet clasp is described as "pretty cheap" by one owner, and another found the finishing on the bezel and dial hands rough. Opinions are split on the design, with some finding it pedestrian and the faux lume color too dark, while others appreciate its uncluttered look and non-minute marker bezel. Overall, owners rate the Yema Pearldiver highly for its vintage appeal and wearable dimensions, despite some concerns regarding quality control.

From video reviewers

The Yema Pearldiver is praised for its vintage-inspired aesthetic and competitive price point. Reviewers noted a clash between the white and cream colorways on the dial.
